So what, who cares? The price is what it is and if will always come back. Bitcoin is long now, not an experiment but a financial instrument. Write about something else, perhaps something interesting that requires real research.

I love the whole cryptocurrency idea. Decentralized currency is important to the future. Governments are getting too powerful and too involved in our privacy. It's not just a concern for conspiracy theorists anymore. It's nice to have a bright spot like crypto to combat the inevitable. I simply can't imagine bitcoin not skyrocketing in the long term.
